Is the brilliant Thomas Sowell the first to coin the phrase "the thoughtless pursuit of a desirable goal."
This was directed specifically at Fannie Mae, but one could think it about liberalism in general. However, on further thought, a desirable goal for liberals is anathema to patriots and freedom.
Or how about this one: "You can use the word ‘profound’ and that doesn’t stop it from being shallow." This in regards to something the profound John Kerry said...whatever it was.
Here's #3: "Sainthood and infallibility are not common in Washington or Wall Street."
